In this new major update, Galaxy Engine receives a brand new 3D mode with all the 2D functionality and more! This new version also includes many smaller changes and additions as well as performance optimizations, especially for fluids. Last but not least, Linux users will now get a native Galaxy Engine version so that it can run without Proton.

Note: Any save files prior to this version will be obsolete.

Changelog:

• Added new 3D Mode

• Added 3D simulation playback

• Added infinite domain feature

• Added galaxy customization

• Added max neighbor slider for particle size

• Added brute-force gravity algorithm (AVX2 only)

• Added AVX2 optimizations for neighbor search (good for fluids, density color, etc)

• Added Enable Spaceship button to fun tab

• Added spaceship acceleration slider

• Optimized turbulence color

• Changed trail length default value to 350

• Moved black hole mass slider to tools tab

• Moved particle amount multiplier to tools tab

• Set min particle size to 0

• Set particle default size to 0.6

• Enabled 3D mode by default

• Removed small galaxy tool

• Particles can't be spawned in Optics mode anymore

• Multiple very minor changes overall
